this looks related to recent changes in setuptools, where dependencies required by setuptools are not longer 'vendored' by setuptools and thus need to be installed first, but they require setuptools themselves... >_<
In Spack, this was fixed by patching the setuptools dependencies so they only rely on distutils rather than setuptools, cfr. https://github.com/LLNL/spack/pull/3198
Instead, I would rather use the most recent version of setuptools that doesn't require installing the dependencies first without having setuptools, i.e. setuptools version < 34.0, since setuptools is planning to take care of this problem themselves, see pypa/setuptools#980

@boegel are we going to get back to this soon? I'm happy to help, given the local requests we have...

It's the separate Tkinter module that we need.
